Interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8)

''Interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) also known as interferon consensus sequence-binding protein (ICSBP), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IRF8gene. IRF8 is a transcription factor that plays critical roles in the regulation of lineage commitment and in myeloidcell maturation including the decision for a common myeloid progenitor (CMP) to differentiate into a monocyte precursor cell.''Extract of Wikipedia
